Here's how Senate Democrats will try to stop Trump's horrific tax bill
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer laid out his plan to try to stop Republicans' destructive "One Big Beautiful Bill" from passing—and said voters will play a big role in that effort.
In a letter to Senate Democrats on Sunday, Schumer said that aside from procedural efforts their party will use in Congress to try to dismantle parts of the legislation, Democrats must recruit Americans to call their GOP legislators and mobilize demonstrations in order to scare Republicans out of voting for the disastrous bill, which would rip Medicaid and food stamps from millions of people while implementing massive tax cuts that overwhelmingly favor the rich.
"Public sentiment is everything," Schumer wrote. "To my core, I know that if the American people truly knew how deeply devastating, damaging, and deceitful this Republican plan is, they will reject it. So we must continue to rally the American people in the shared fight to stop this radical agenda."
Schumer laid out what Senate Democrats are doing to mobilize Americans to fight back against what would be Trump’s signature legislative accomplishment, which Schumer described as “one of the most destructive and shamelessly self-serving pieces of legislation in modern American history.”

In other words, citizens are going to raise hell like it was done in the town halls.
